I've always wanted to be a
musician and my
I have a South Indian father so
it was a very rocky relationship with him and
he sent me for a BTech in Andhra Pradesh, I ran away from hostel
I came back to Delhi. He put me into Law I quit that
finally somehow established myself in Delhi as a small musician
and Later on I became a part of Rally for Rivers,
and I volunteered myself Some big explosion happened within me yesterday,
and I told My I got a link on the Whatsapp group by [Inaudible]
saying that we could volunteer ourselves for the next three years
As being part of the Rally for Rivers thing so I registered myself yesterday
and I told my father that I will be leaving everything and...
Sadhguru: What are you leaving man? You got nothing. You left the...
So he... Sadhguru: Everybody likes to make some drama
about it. I'm leaving everything. What the hell are you leaving.
So my father got really angry Because he saw me settling into something
after a very long time, and he was like 'This is not what you want to do' and
He became so angry that he called you a Spiritual Terrorist
and he wanted me to ask you this that what is
my responsibility as a son for my parents, and I want to ask you this that
Am I doing the right thing? I believe that I am doing the right thing.
There are no right things to do in life If you choose something and
Put everything that you have into it. It'll become a great thing
Is it the right thing is it the best thing? When you say is it the right thing what you're
asking is is it the best thing to do in life? There is no best thing to do in life
Anything that you take up, and if you put your Heart and Soul into it it becomes a great
thing Is it the best thing No?
then what is the best thing there is no such thing
there's really no such thing And now that you have duties
Towards your parents tell me whether it's to yourself or to your parents or to anybody
Don't look at yourself as a Delhiite or an idiot whatever you want to call yourself
If... You're just a piece of life Hello
And today you're here one day will be poop Gone
You're a brief life. I want you to just imagine you've seen those insects which come when
it rains you know Ants which fly Suppose you are that
You just came alive Gone that's what you are
Just compared to the span of your life the insects
life is looking so meaningless and poop and gone
That's what the rivers are thinking about you boo boo goop and gone
Yes or no Compared to their lifespan you are just like
that insect or less than an insect isn't it so
but You don't know what the insect is thinking
But at least you, I wanted to think and say it's a bloody brief life
both for you and your father and Don't you ever take this South India in a
negative As if a South Indian father is some terrible
phenomena You tell your father I defended his South
Indian origins. In this coun.. in this culture
people Desperately wanted to have a son
Not because they had a kingdom to rule Because they believed if they have a child
because the girl will get married and go off somewhere if the son is there he will be there
and make sure
That before they die he will take them to Kashi, or he will take them to the right place
and see that they get Mukti That is the entire process of life here
because We saw the very process of life, and it's
exuberant flying around for some time and poof
This itself is a trap Suppose you remembered 100 lifetimes of coming
up, flying around, falling in love, reproducing, South Indian or North Indian
And Kayantasthanam suppose you remember 100 happenings
like this would it become meaningless Because of loss of memory everything is looking
fresh. Yes. So your fundamental duty towards yourself
and your father is just to remind them of this
It's all right what your father calls me what does it matter he is after all South India?
So are you doing the right thing? I don't know sir all I know is this needs to be done
and those who do it with all that they have will find fulfillment
I I am not somebody who ever debated is this
the right thing to do in my life? What was needed I jumped into it?
Because if you are a constipated life you will always be thinking
About what to do what not to do what to do what not to do, what is my passion what is
not my passion Why the hell are you not passionate about
everything? Hello
Why are you not passionate about everything in the existence you're only passionate about
one thing means what you constipated That's what it means
Idiots do things that they don't like to do suffer for their whole life because they think
it's needed or they think it's their duty Intelligent people do
What they love to do They enjoy their life to some extent
But a genius learns to do what is needed joyfully, that's when your genius flowers
Because it's no more about you now. There's a limitless way of looking at life
So every aspect
of this rally or many other things. We've done I
Don't even have to tell people That this must happen this must happen this
must happen a few things yes the rest of it..
I just make it up in my mind And I know it must happen
And it will happen Not because
Not because I am exercising my will over the world
Because I'm just fulfilling the will of the world. That's all.
